[QUOTE=bdd458;45631329]honestly the US is a lot like Rome in that if we were invaded we probably wouldn't give up until every US citizen was dead. I mean look how that turned out for Hannibal. "Oh yeah, I fucking beat them! They'll surrender any day now!" "Oh, we're supposed to surrender to you?"[/QUOTE] Yeah, and the US knows what happens when you fight against people who don't give up (vietnam wink wink)
[QUOTE=Sharker;45632294]Do you also hate chocolate milk[/QUOTE] As a Rhode Islander the thought of someone hating coffee milk makes my blood boil.
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;45632065]If I said that I don't like western TV shows because I didn't like Big Bang Theory, Dora the Explorer, the ending of Lost and Family Guy, I'd be called an idiot. And rightfully so. So why do people keep posting that "I don't like anime"?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;45632118]Because they perceive every anime ever as either too girly like Sailor Moon, too childish like Pokemon, or too perverted like Eiken.[/QUOTE] So is the argument here that because I haven't dug deep enough into [I]all[/I] different types of anime, I'm an idiot, or that because my attempts at enjoying anime over the course of several years have proven futile, I'm an idiot? I'm confused :/ I've tried explaining my reasonings behind it in a friendly way but so far the only responses I've gotten from anime fans here are that I'm really fucking dumb or an idiot. If you're trying to argue that I'd like it more if I looked into shit you consider good, maybe suggest some stuff to me instead of just insulting me for having different tastes than you?

It's like hating all live action television because Jersey Shore is shit. Try Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, or Ghost in the Shell. I don't really watch much anime, but those are all superb IMO. Though I haven't seen much of GITS yet.

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;45632545]Anime means nothing but "japanese animation". It's not a real genre.[/QUOTE] I guess I should rephrase then, just in general as a medium, it's not for me, personally. I don't hate it, I just don't partake in it. Again, sorry if I offened anyone.
[QUOTE=gk99;45632100]Exactly my point. A Nickelback song comes on, all my friends seem to start bitching about how bad it is. But then "TURN DOWN FOR WHAT" comes on and about half of them start dancing.[/QUOTE] You aren't really supposed to take turn down for what seriously, there's a pretty deep meaning to the song, and it's this man.

Also people who hate nickelback have pleeeenty of points to bring to the table.

There are definitely a lot of bad anime out there. It's a medium in of itsself though, so there's good stuff if you can find it. Dunno if you'll like them but I can recommend Steins;gate, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, and Gurren Lagannas some really good ones.
Maybe they just don't like animated things. Same thing as saying I don't like cartoons.
I watch enough anime, but you're giving him too hard a time guys. If it's not for him, it's not for him.
[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;45632118]or too perverted like Eiken.[/QUOTE] Agreeing to watch that because I lost a bet ranks pretty high on the list of dumbest things I've ever done.

Most of these people are getting a bit angry because a lot of people come into the thread and basically just post "anime is dumb" and leave. I wouldn't even consider myself an anime fan, I'm only currently watching two at the moment (and can probably list the anime's I've watched on one hand): Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (reading the manga too) and Space Dandy. Though if you don't like the "theatricism"; don't watch Jojo, it's basically that turned to 11. It borders on parody at times. I would recommend Space Dandy though.
I played Batman: Arkham Asylum and it was terrible

[QUOTE=Rantosaurus;45632516]Wait a second, are you saying someone out there hates coffee milk?! What kind of a messed up world do we live in?[/QUOTE] I actually looked this up on wikipedia and to me it looks more like a dessert then a beverage and sounds like it'd be tasty if I could get my hands on some. But I'm already too invested in my opinion to back out now. I guess I'll just have to stop considering Rhode Island a state then.
While it would be a terrible thing, and deep down I know I don't actually want it to happen; I kind of want another World War or any type of major war. If there's one thing we're good at it's making new technology to kill people, and our technology advances dramatically when there's a war involved. World War 1 had aircraft which were quickly perfected and optimized for mass production. In World War 2 there was propulsion, which orginated from German engineers designing missiles. Propulsion eventually resulted in getting man on the Moon. Another war could (ambitiously) mean the militarization of space, which would open a lot of doors for us.

Limp Bizkit left a nasty after-taste for their Vegas fans when they refused to play a show and didn't refund anyone. I know a good portion of people who don't listen to Limp Bizkit for this reason. And by good portion, I mean 3. No one here in Vegas listens to Limp Bizkit outside of my uncle.
